R. Bryan Benafield's Online Review Report Card

First doctor I've seen during my appointment time vs. a long wait! Listened to what I had so say; so easily found my problem with an MRI. Surgery went fantastic, super pleased with the results. Highly recommend.

Second shoulder he has done and very happen that both

Absolute butcher. Performs unnecessary procedures. Poor communication with patient. Doesn't always tell the truth. Now facing another surgery due to his negligence.

Dr. Benafield is an amazing surgeon. Couldn’t be any more pleased with my experience!

Dr Benafield was great to work with on my carpel tunnel surgery. He was straight forward, communicated well, and provided a successful surgery.

5 years ago I had a left rotator cuff repair. When I began to have pain in my rt shoulder earlier this year I chose to see Dr Benafield again as I was pleased with the previous surgery results

I am so grateful for Dr. Benafield. He has given me my life back after I had suffered for years with a torn rotator cuff and carpal tunnel. I am beginning to enjoy being free of the horrible shoulder pain!

Dr. Benafield and the staff with which he works are superb. My hand surgery (left and right) for trigger fingers were a total success. The Ozark Group was very accommodating. The only off putting facet was checking in and out (very slow).

Not good. Not sure about his competence, but his attitude toward patients is less than a 0. Arrogant, unsympathetic, and aloof. My wife was admitted to the Fayetteville hospital with what turned out to be a fractured pelvis. He would not see her in the room until the end of the second day, and only did so after being paged to the room. He appeared at the door saying, "What do you want?" Even though being assigned to the case, he apparently had no intention of even seeing his patient.

I had carpel tunnel and ulna release surgery on both hands/elbows with Dr. Benafield. Both surgeries went very well and I have had no problems at all. I appreciate Dr. Benafield's expertise and kindness at all my appointments. I would definitely recommend Dr. Benafield to anyone who is contemplating carpel tunnel surgery.

I had carpel tunnel and ulna release surgeries done by Dr. Benafield. I have been very pleased with the results of the surgeries and have had no problems at all. I appreciate Dr. Benafield's expertise and kindness...he answered any questions I had and it has been a very good experience. I definitely would recommend Dr. Benafield.

Excellent experience and fully trust Dr. Benafield.

Dr. Benafield performed my Rotator Cuff repair on March 27, 2018. Today, after Physical Therapy twice a week for the past three months, he cleared me to practice my golf swing. I couldn't be happier with the outcome, although I will avoid going back for seconds :-). If you're unlucky enough to have shoulder problems, I highly recommend Dr. Benafield. One of the really good things - he manages his schedule and won't have you wait until four when your appointment is at three.

Atrocious bedside manner, arrogant, condescending, rude. Completely unprofessional. Violates HIPPA. Worst doctor I have ever encountered.

He was cold and uncaring. Will not return to his office.

He was cold and distant. Very uncaring and no compassion. He obviously hates tattooed people. He is partial to sportos. He wasn't even in the building and was already twenty minutes behind schedule., he offered no apology for his tardiness.

Dr. Benafield is disrespectful, he rolled his eyes at me and was extremely dismissive of me repeatedly informing him of pain I am suffering from after my surgery and months of physical therapy. He seems to be going off of a "statistical average" of where I should be and is patronizing in his tone of telling me how I feel.

Arthritis collapsed my thumb into the palm of my hand. Dr. Benafield restored the use of my left hand with surgery. I now have 90% functionality of the hand. It is getting better and stronger everyday. I suspect I will be at 100% by the end of the month. It is wonderful to be able to open jars, button up shirts and pull zippers with both hands now. It's been six weeks since my surgery. I am at full speed with my life again. Thank you Dr. Benafield.

I would recommend Dr. Benafield to anyone in need of his services. He is very professional and I felt like he listened to my concerns and truly cared about the success of my surgery. He explained everything he would be doing in a fashion that put me at ease. I had surgery on my shoulder. I am 90 days out from my procedure and have NO pain in my shoulder after dealing with very bad pain for 5+ years. As I told Dr. Benafield, "He changed my life!"
